    Haven't been here for years and it was exactly the same as it was back then. Food was sensational as well as the service. We couldn't decide on what to order so we ordered the snapper and the poke bowl. Everything was so flavourful and we loved how playful the poke bowl was. We won't be leaving it so long between visits now..

    Living not far from here, we visit regularly for dinner. We love the pizza's, the special spaghetti, but the fillet steak are the best by far!!!! Tonight, the special was Marrow Bone with Beef Cheek Fettuccine. I thought, why not 😊 You did not disappoint, our visit is always a pleasant one! Thank you all 😁

    Thought we would try this place for food on our way to the casino and glad we did because we would happily go back. Quite a bit of parking available, we didn't have a reservation but the time we went there was alot if seating available both in and outside. No complaints about the customer service the staff were nice, atmosphere was nice although a little dark inside where we sat but it wasn't a problem just thought I'd add. Looks like a great place to watch a game! Huge screen outside. My cocktail was nice sorry can't remember the name, the menu was great and pricing wasn't dare in my opinion. The steak was good! I'd go back for it, I did add the garlic Prawns to my meal and thoroughly enjoyed everything. The desert was like the cherry on the cake, I had the cheese cake with the coconut sorbet and although I'm not the hugest fan of coconut it was delicious.

    Great location to visit through summer for the outdoor big screens to watch live sports and indoors in winter as it’s cosy and seating is formal or less formal lounge style set ups. Great food and wine list and very attentive staff who all appear to be enjoying themselves just as much as the customers. Mid week specials are fantastic and plenty of parking. Live bands in the weekends just make this a great place to visit regularly for something different each time.

    Came in for a bite and asked to have my food order split up to have here and take away. The staff were so fabulous and accommodating! Check out the photo of the GORGEOUS presentation. Thanks to Sienna and #teamEmpire!

    Went to empire bar for lunch. I have specific dietary constraints, the chef and staff were caring and I was able to order a meal. I would highly recommend this facility.

    Such a nice surprise. Went for dinner with a large group and every single person was happy with their meal. The beef fillet was tender and delicious. Garlic beans were amazing! Look forward to going back.

    Such a top spot. Lots of indoor and outdoor options. Service was friendly and quick. The meals we had were delicious and steak was cooked as per request. If I lived in Perth this would be a place I would frequent often.

    Nice place to catch up with friends for a drink and dinner. Friendly staff and delicious food. The music bands were fantastic on the new year eve as well. 😊

  • 5/5 Hona R. 7 months ago on Google • 24 reviews
    Friday lunch in the restaurant. (Beer garden was packed with an event, still there's heaps of places to sit and relax). Massive TV's for the sporties and amazing food for the foodies. Service was great. Cocktails were not for us - tried 4, nxt time beer and wine. Overall a firm 5 stars and planning another visit.

    Had a fabulous meal with very attentive service on Saturday evening. It was a special occasion, and everything was absolutely fine until a DJ started playing directly adjacent to the restaurant. The music was incredibly loud to the extent that it made it difficult to communicate! We’ve been to the Empire bar on many occasions and the DJ has usually been situated at the other end of the main bar, hence not interfering with the diners. It took the edge of a lovely evening!

    Some good to average food here. Adults meals took ages and we ordered just before 2pm so lunch rush should be over. Outdoor area good on a sunny day. Kids meals of spag bog were very good. Big screen for footy very good. Kid friendly.

    Foods were very average. Fries were soft.

    The atmosphere was great, it was New Year's Eve.... Although my vegan gnocchi dish wasn't the best... Very dry and tasteless... My friends were happy with their choices for dinner... 😊 They did order the parmigiana..

    Would be a 3 however, My mate and I came here on a Tuesday for a meal and enjoyed an extremely good Angus beef sirloin steak for half price that would've been worth every penny of the full price. Was great service and the waiters were very efficient and friendly. The following experience however was on a busier night (friday) where we decided to go for the classic chicken parmigiana and boy. The wait time was good at around 15-20 minutes due to "retro night" but the food was not good at $26 each. The parmi was basic and the chips were not good. Would very much recommend Empire Bar on a quiet night (or not packed as is tonight) if looking for a meal and the steak is to die for.

    We're here last Saturday for a 60th birthday party. The team assisted us with all the instructions we need and we also got a good feedback from our client. Big thanks to Deborah, the events manager for all the help. We highly recommend the Empire Bar!

    Great place to relax and have a few drinks and a meal. They are located close to public transport with a good selection of beers on tap with friendly and helpful staff.

  • 4/5 Ron A. 1 year ago on Google
    Food and service was great, fast and with a smile. Very accommodating when requested a move to another table due to too awkward to get into for my wife at original table. Prices are reasonable.

  • 5/5 Scooter I. 6 months ago on Google
    First time coming here. Love the different zones. Especially the central open air section with the big screen. I came here for a birthday party in the private function room, but would imagine coming here to watch sport on the big screen would be amazing. I’ll have to find out first hand.

    Couple of coldies after dinner. Pleasant sitting out on front balcony patio. Friendly staff on bar and entrance door. Great time with AFL match.

    Love going here a mix of age groups love Friday nights. But 2 friends and myself had a meal here for the first time one very disappointing aprox $35 for a very large plate of green salad with a grilled fish fillet the size of a couple of kids frozen fish fingers on top

    Had a great time celebrating a 50th birthday in the function room. Catering was great. Surprised to get F1 qualifying coverage on the screen in the middle 3a party.

    I enjoyed dinner with my friend, friendly and professional staffs and food is good. Chicken parmi and onion rings are awesome!

  • 5/5 Linda M. 3 years ago on Google
    First time at Empire Bar. Great spot. Variety of seating/tables indoor and out. All areas were well presented and clean. Decent amount of shade outside from the shade sails. Was a very hot day when we went and the aircon inside was working beautifully 👍🏻 Nice menu with a good selection. We went at lunchtime and ordered Scotch Steak Sandwiches (add beetroot) for lunch which came out in good time. They were delicious. Steak was just the right thickness and perfectly cooked - very tender. All other ingredients were nice and fresh. House made onion rings were a yummy addition. Meal was very filling. Drinks were icy cold. Would love to go back and try some of the other menu items - some of the share plates sounded amazing and the one on the table next to us looked the bomb! Could not fault the place on our visit today.

  • 5/5 Trisha M. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was fantastic. It was a bit loud for the event we had and took a bit longer than expected to get our food. Unbeatable experience and I am told there are very good specials with a half price pizza night.

  • 4/5 Paul J. 2 years ago on Google
    Mains were great, atmosphere very good for a bar, had to send my sticky date pudding back unfortunately. Pudfing was dry as a piece of toast. Staff were friendly and issue was reolved without fuss.

    Was here on a Tuesday and it was $22 steak night! Was amazed how amazing the steak was, better than many much more expensive steak joints. Being a bargains, there's no need to mention drinks but ambience wise, it's a great joint to hang out with my mates for a mid week escape.

  • 5/5 Oliver “Olifon” O. 3 years ago on Google
    Loved the live gigs at the Empire bar. The atmosphere there is always good!

  • 5/5 Tonya J. 2 years ago on Google
    Great venue. Atmosphere is fantastic. Was busy with everyone having a great time. Awesome service barman remembered my order which is always great. Quick bar service too even when it was pumping busy.Really central and easy to get to. Taxis easy to catch at end of the night. I have also been here for a quiet drink on a weekday great place to do that too, with plenty of seating areas and also a large outdoor area too.

  • 2/5 Dan 2 years ago on Google
    Great venue but the music inside is way too loud. Near impossible to have a simple conversation without screaming. Twice I ordered a vodka and soda and got a scotch and soda, I guess because they couldn't hear me. It's meant to be a bar not a nightclub?!

  • 5/5 Hootie 2 years ago on Google
    Love this pub! Staff are friendly, meals are generous and reasonably priced and good variety of drinks. Great venue, plenty of different sections to suit a variety of tastes. Wednesday $15 Burger Special was bloody good, go the bacon for the extra $2, you won't regret it.

  • 5/5 Renata L. 2 years ago on Google
    Had an awesome time there great bands and didn't even have to wait long to get drinks from the bar

  • 4/5 Stephanie W. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved dancing with Darran Reid but the bans area is so small and needs air-conditioning on.

  • 5/5 Janinne G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great venue, comfoetable environment, yummy food and good size servings, friendly staff, good location, close to casino and the city.

  • 5/5 Riccardo B. 2 years ago on Google
    Visited the Empire last night and impressed with the vibe and quality of Darren Reid Soul City Groove. The Empire Bar a beautiful establishment with a huge central peristyle beer garden, sixties impressionist large floor to ceiling windows long bar and cubicles. Great staff, beautiful venue... this is a beautiful venue.

  • 2/5 Sanjay M. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice environment and good service. However, the chicken parmigiana which I ordered was alittle dry and did not have the taste it should. Nevertheless, chips were good

  • 5/5 Trevor C (. 2 years ago on Google
    We went to the Empire for the first time last week and what a pleasant surprise. The menu was better than expected and definitely not just pub food. The ‘Poke’ sashimi bowl was brilliant. Good wine list too. We’ll be back there soon.

    Nice dinner with family. Good food & service. Great to have tv screen in view. Bit loud in the dining area with the adjoining bar but it was a Sat night so to be expected. Will be back.
